Gurbaksh Singh Chahal (born July 17, 1982) is an American entrepreneur, author and TV Personality. He was the Founder, Chairman & CEO of two advertising companies which were sold for over $340 million.
Chahal was born in the town of Tarn Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab, India to Avtar and Arjinder Chahal. He is of Punjabi-Sikh descent. In 1985, his parents received a visa for America through a lottery-based system in India. A year later, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 4 with the rest of his family and settled in San Jose, California. Gurbaksh is the youngest of four siblings.
On December 15, 1998, at the age of 16, he started his first venture, ClickAgents. ClickAgents was an advertising network focused on performance-based advertising. Two years later, on November 1, 2000, ValueClick announced it agreed to buy ClickAgents in a $40 million all-stock merger. Chahal had a three year non-compete agreement with ValueClick.
In January 12, 2004, Chahal formed BlueLithium another advertising network which was recognized as an innovator in the online advertising space in a Business 2.0 article.
In 2006, under Chahal’s leadership, BlueLithium was named Top Innovator by AlwaysOn.
On October 15, 2007 Yahoo! bought BlueLithium for $300 million in cash. He was 25 years old at the time. Chahal remained CEO of the company through the transition period. [6] Chahal is now working on his next start-up, gWallet, a site intended to allow users to find deals on merchandise they are looking for via the internet.
Chahal appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss his childhood and business journey. He also starred in one episode of the FOX philanthropic reality show Secret Millionaire, where he went undercover in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, California to give away at least $100,000 of his own money. He is shown donating $90,000, but has written that other donations (which raised the total above $100,000) were “left out on the editing room floor.”

First of all, you dont knw who have given away as much as he did.. so hold your thought there. Second, 100,000 is equalent to $40 if you have100,000 dollors. Its better then nothing.. but i dont see it as a big of a deal.

Not to mention that… coming back and saying “Oh i want to reveal my identity… and the fact that you guys been video taped” — can potentially cost millions in law suits. Its bullshittttttttt … why couldnt he make it REAL. Of course all these folks have a consent to play all this.

I am impressed by the young gentleman’s achievement.
In this video, I guess he is promoting himself.. i dont see a need to show his body, dressing up, doing push-ups in the morning and all that non-sense.
Apart from that.. how on earth can you video tape all that without people noticing the camera.

This man is a …
This man is a decietful people user. First he lied to everyone he met and befreinds them to imbed himself into their lives for his own little game .Then he gets all dolled up in elite clothing with Rolex and delivers his money via one of his expensive sports cars. A great way to make peole feel even smaller. His donations are tax write-offs and the money he gave to the single mom will cause her to lose her Social Assistance allowance. He did absolutely nothing for that poor woman. …sad..

Although the minimum required donation is $100,000, during the Episode 4 airing with millionaire Gurbaksh Chahal only $90,000 was shown (two $35,000 donations & two $10,000 donations). However, the total donations exceeded $100,000 and also included a birthday fund and computer lab. (also i suppose the point is he might now do a lot more for charities in general)

No good deed goes unpunished. I can’t believe how many people left negative comments. It’s his choice to give away that money. Some people who are super wealthy never even DREAM or THINK of giving their money away no strings attached. Really guys, it’s disgusting.
